Music IS mathematics to me, I think music is a billion trillion equations with just a smattering of random number generators feeding values to the equations, which would be things like the weather, or your mood, or relative degree of intoxication -- whatever influences your songwriting process. i'm not saying autechre couldn't have been boring. most likely they just needed more equations. face it, if you use any kind of sequencer, your music CAN be transcribed into an equation.
